Very Special Guest

This week at Greyson's school they are doing the book Corduroy (one of my favs). Since Corduroy had grand adventures in the book the children have been asked to have adventures with him as well. Each day one child takes Corduroy home and plays with him and then writes about it (OK, he tells me and I write) and draws a picture to share with the class the next day. Well today was Greyson's day. I was interested to see what he did. Greyson plays pretend but never with anything - or not with something that could be animate like a bear. We build forts and he pretends he is a bear or the big bad wolf but never uses any stuffed animals or such when he plays.

However, he took this assignment with gusto. Corduroy did EVERYTHING today.
We rode on an airplane (that's him in the back of the plane!)
Then we all had tea and Greyson even helped Corduroy stir in his sugar.
After that it was pizza for everyone.
Finally it was off to bed and Corduroy joined the menagere of animals that Greyson sleeps with every night.
Here is the picture he drew. For those not well versed in Greyson's artistic style that is a picture of Corduroy in the middle and the airplane we flew on at the bottom.

All in all a very good evening with our first sleep over guest. Now the interesting part will be what Greyson does when someone else takes him home tomorrow.
